MASTERCHEF: THE PROFESSIONALS continued on BBC Two tonight, with presenter Gregg Wallace, chef Monica Galetti and Michelin-starred Marcus Wareing together once again in their search for the UK's finest cooking talent.

Gregg tried to offer support, saying: “Your job now is to pick yourself up off the canvas, dust yourself down and come out fighting. Alright?

“You’ve got a point to prove to yourself now, not to us, to yourself. Off you go.”

Away from the judging panel, Tristan revealed: “It’s immense, absolutely immense, like, three judges peering down on you, watching your every move and yeah, just pressure completely got to me. So there’s no excuses. I just need to come back stronger, that’s it.”

Viewers took to social media, with one tweeting: “Argh Tristan this is painful #masterchef.”

Another posted: “This is painful #mastercheftheprofessionals,” while a third added: “Tristan was painful watch. #mastercheftheprofessionals.”
